Otatso Wetlands Tabula Rasa

Sorry for the slight delay. I've been judging a skateboarding competition all weekend and I haven't had much time to catch up on threads.

It wasn't a plant, but a ruckus in the distance that caught Reek's attention.  The jovial sounds of play rising over the murk had prompted him to move in their direction.  Drawing closer to the noise and commotion, Reek crouched; holding back from a distance, and watching the other wolf jump around like a pup on cocaine.  It had been far too long since the raggedy wolf had let loose and played.  His tail began to wag behind him as he watched, and corners of his mouth twisted into a curious smile.

She bounded right into Reek's direction, causing him to backpedal and stagger back into the mud.  However, he was no worse-for-ware.  His tail still wagged behind him as he pulled himself up from the muck. After picking himself back up to his paws, Reek shifted his gaze from the ground to the wolf in front of him. "Having fun?" he mused from behind a toothy grin.
